[edit] stupid article

digital painting does not mean imitating traditional painting. you cannot compare apples to pears. digital painting offers much more variety than traditional painting. but it needs an artist to make it alive not a button or pen pusher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.238.49.78 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link update

changed the link leading to Deviantart, since it was outdated.

It's hard to find the link you are referring to because there are no footnotes. This style of bare referencing has been out of date for years. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 00:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] added new info.

New picture example. Added text concerning digital painting 'tools'

[edit] Removed Images

Certian images have been removed by me because they have been added to a category that makes them speediable, most likely Category:Images with no copyright tag. Kilo-Lima|^(talk) 16:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Image

I've added a new image. It's my own, so there shouldn't be any issues with it. escapologist Image:Exquisite-kate.png 12:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links Section

With all due respect to Kathryn Smith, I don't think her work is relevant to this article. If you look at her website and the explanation of her technique, it is more "photo manipulation" or similar to rotoscoping with a single image. Typically in the digital painting community this way of working is most often frowned upon. Here are some links I would suggest starting with:

http://forums.cgsociety.org/
http://www.goodbrush.com/
http://www.furiae.com/

Also, I don't understand why at the top it says "See also: Vector graphics" The only thing that links the two is that they are both art and created on the computer, and that's about it. In the category of computer generated art, they are miles away from each other.

Agree. There are so much digital artists in the internet that there's no need for some examples, especially if these examples had no deeper information about the topic. I removed all links, except the one from devianArt 84.142.225.44 16:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

My response is that you are incorrect. If you look at my art work you will see that most of it is digital painting. I do include some photo manipulations on my site as well but I am a digital painter first and foremost. Thanks, Kathryn Smith.
